Line 7:
Greg's family includes his mother, Susan; his father, Frank, and his two brothers, Rodrick and Manny. Rodrick is older and often picks on Greg, whilst Manny is the baby of the family who can get away with anything. Other kids in the neighborhood include Greg's friend Rowley, and the creepy kid Fregley, who lives down the block.

Line 185:
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: Zig-Zagged. Greg's mom doesn't appear to have a job, but he mentions that she runs an article in the newspaper, and it's implied she might have been a therapist (but one for younger kids if anything) but is implied to go to school. Otherwise...she's not really doing anything. Greg's dad escapes this because they don't mention what he does, only that he takes a carpool.
** Not to mention, this is arguably a case of [[Fridge Brilliance]] - it's told from Greg's point of view. What would he know about what his parents do on a day-by-day basis?
* [[
** Another student ends up with the role of a shrub. He ends up delaying the start of the play due to stage fright. Greg even comments on how ridiculous the whole situation was.▼
{{quote|'''Greg''': You'd think that someone whose job it was to sit on the stage and do nothing could just suck it up for one performance.}}▼
** In the movie adaptation, Greg wanted a main role in the play to make Rowley jealous. He can sing extremley well, but he's a male soprano. The theatre director said the only soprano parts in the play were Dorothy (he quickly made her drop that idea) and the Trees.▼
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Several things could have been avoided if Greg just ''told'' people what was going on.
** In ''The Ugly Truth'', this is what pretty much leads to Uncle Gary's second divorce.
Line 240 ⟶ 244:
** The sixth book: Manny hacks Greg's Net Kritterz account and disables it, preventing Greg from being able to log in. It's never mentioned again after that, [[Fridge Horror|likely meaning Gregory's Little Friend died]].
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: In ''Rodrick Rules'' (the movie), Chirag dresses up as Holly to play a prank on Greg.
▲* [[You Are a Tree Charlie Brown]]: Greg is a tree in his school's production of ''The Wizard of Oz''. Subverted in that he ''wanted'' this role, in part because he didn't want to be in the show but was forced to audition by his mom.
▲** Another student ends up with the role of a shrub. He ends up delaying the start of the play due to stage fright. Greg even comments on how ridiculous the whole situation was.

* [[You Are Grounded]]: Well ''duh''! Who ''wasn't'' grounded as a teenager?
* [[Youngest Child Wins]]: Only in that Manny winds up getting treated much better than his siblings.
